Ps. It isn't really proof read so forgive my mistakes! Enjoy!

----------------------------------------------------

Up stairs in her daughters sweet smelling yet dreary, (at the moment considering her sister is missing) room Lena slowly walked to the doorway watching her young daughter typing away on her laptop, small pieces of blue nail polish chipped away from her quickly moving fingers.

"Uh hey Mariana!" Lena shakily got her attention.

"Oh um hey mom.."

"so I wanted to um, well how do I..." Lena began

"Mum its okay i'll talk I know you want to know about Callie, believe me I do too, but i'll tell you what I know." She quickly shut the top to her silver Apple laptop. Lena sat down next her child on her floral bedspread.

"So uh.." she took a long breath. "Jude told mom and I that when he came home, you and B were fighting about Liam. You wanna tell me why?"

"Do you want the long or short version?" Mariana questioned with her face almost as if she was unaware of her surroundings.
"I got time." Lena answered. They both had a small smile growing on their faces but it slowly faded away once Mariana Began.

"Okay, so I had just finished my breakfast and was about to go upstairs when I heard talking; I just assumed it was you or one of the other hundred people who live in this house." Marianas voice became noticeably shaky at this point. "But then," she continued, "the whispers turned into a faint crying. Out of no where she burst down the stairs with tears down her face."

Mariana was now crying. She didn't know why, but she couldn't hold it in. "She didn't stop at all, I couldn't have caught her even if I had Tried. She must have been holding the car keys, I didn't see but she must have been!"
Lena stopped her for a moment she couldn't handle seeing her daughter life this.

" Honey stop please you're hurting your self! Callie's not dead! i'm sure shes off thinking. If you don't want to continue you don't have to but please, no more tears." She was now noticeably worried.

Mariana took a long needed breath, wiped the tears, and continued, this time with a different tone of voice. 

"Sh she slammed the door behind her before I could even react." Mariana continued slowly. "Literally like 3 seconds after that Brandon came running down after her in a panic. His hair was all messy and he looked sweaty and tired, and- and,I didn't know what to think, I live with Jesus after all." she stated lightening the mood with a small chuckle. "When he came down the stairs," She continued.

 "He was clearly trying to catch Callie. He was yelling her name but she didn't come back. He looked really worried like he had done something wrong and I knew I had to find out what." There was a moment of silence as she took a deep breath wrapping up her thoughts. "That's when I stopped him from leaving the house, and told him that they can never be together if she will be part of this family. He yelled at me saying he wasn't Liam, then Jude walked into the house and blew up. I mean he was pissed. He was angrier than i've ever seen! He screeched at Brandon and said not to talk about Liam and then he ran away." 

She leaned in closer to her mom and whispered, "I think he was crying".

Mariana sat back into her bed indicating her story's end. Lena just sat absolutely frozen in horror, like she was about to faint, but all she said was "Thank you for telling me," she deep breathed, I'll go tell mom. She slowly got up and walked out of the room shocked as to all that has happened today before noon.
